The unit did not come with a wiring diagram. Does it matter which terminals are used for common and hot?

Does not matter. It has two 300 wAtt terminals. Best to keep total number of watts slightly below 300. For example 14 20 watt lights equals 280 watts. I have 13 - 20 watt lights - 260 total watts on each terminal and it works great!

Not as far as I can tell. I tried to align all wiring the same way, but otherwise it doesn't seem to matter. It is low voltage AC output. I split my lights across the two sets of terminals, but I'm not using the full power yet. One of the terminal screws is stripped so I'll have to fix that at some point.

I had an electrician put it in, but he said how surprised he was by how good it was and ease of installation!

There are a separate set of two terminals for each of two lines of lights. As it is 12 volt you can hook up your cable to whichever set you choose. Don't worry about which one goes where as long as you use the same set of terminals. Unless you run a transformer on the same line of a long run with a transformer on each end. I have done this and it takes some planning as the 120 volt transformers also need to be on the same circuit and wired alike or you will blow a transformer.

It's been a while since I installed, but I think if you don't install the common wire you will have a battery operated thermostat. If you have the complete 24 volt circuit, (Common installed), batteries will be the backup, in case of AC power failure.

Yes -piece o cake! It come with the wiring diagrams, but if you want to look before you buy, you can see or download them from the msd web site.

No wiring diagram. The motor bolted on and plugged in to the existing harness with no modifications. Simply a plug & play unit. Even the intermittent system works on the unit I installed. That is in the vehicles' system. If the unit you have won't plug in, you have the wrong one for your vehicle. I had to return a blower motor due to it's mounting being different from my app. No hassle return!

Rafael!Hi!I had my unit custom installed!The technician made his own wiring !Good Luck!Dr. Joe M!

As this picture is seen here the red & green are on the right terminal and the yellow & black on the left, however I am ADT other services may be different. If you haven't unhooked the old one I would suggest hooking up the new one the same.

Wiring is simple and yes there is a wiring diagram, did not have to buy anything just cut it into my PVC line, if you are taking an old one out you may have to extend the line if the new one is shorter

I had to go look. There are two terminal blocks. One with 3 and one with 4. My system is wired thus: 3 Term- unused, green,yellow through resistor., 4 term - Black, red, unused, unused. I just diagramed the old one before removing it and placed the wires back on the same terminals. I don't have any other colored wires with this system. My guess is the 4 term block are + and - and the 3 term block are the outfeeds to the monitor/alarm panel. Hope that helps.

It needs the C-wire. In my case the A/C unit had the connection and I could use the existing wire as a pull string to run the new one. I bought this unit specifically because of it's width. The battery powered units I could find would not fit between the two door jams where my old thermastat was.

I'm not sure what the model is of the unit I replaced but this unit works great! Are you concerned with quality, size or wiring?

No I tried ,wiring diagram & diagram on unit differ. Did not work. Ended up cleaning the contacts on the old one,still working

Being as I do not want to make a mistake that may possibly damage the new unit, you should call the manufacturer at 856-234-8803 to get a tech to give you the exact wiring configuration. Or email them at techsupport@luxproducts.com Good luck,Richard

No. It is powered by the circuit voltage. It will tell if the Hot and Neutral are on the correct terminals.

I didn't even need to connect the brown wires when I installed mine. Most installations won't need them. As for if you do, Someone else may have to chime in about where they connect.

NEC states only one wire per terminal, but the unit would work fine with 2, if you do not do it to code. It would have to be a very secure connection to avoid resistance heating. Try to do it to code if possible, extra breakers are only $15. Replacing some 15 and 20 amp single pole breakers with Tandem breakers in other slots would allow space to insert the extra breaker at the top of the lineup and keep it to code.

It's described in included manual. Take care do not swap AC current "hot" and "cold" wires.

Yes, they sent you the wrong unit. The 12 volts system only had two wire ( brown + and Blue - ) connect to dc power supply. If the unit has three wires that is for AC volt only (Brown wire= Hot, Blue= N, Green/Yellow= Ground).
